Esetere o memela kgosi le Hamane moketeng wa dijo
1Ka letsatsi la boraro Esetere a apara seaparo sa hae sa bofumahadi, mme a ya ema kahare ho seotlwana sa ntlo ya kgosi, a tobana le ntlo ya kgosi. Kgosi e ne e dutse teroneng ya yona, ka tlung ya bokgosi, kapele ho monyako wa ntlo. 2Ha kgosi e bona Esetere a eme ka seotlwaneng, ya mo hauhela, yaba e mo supa ka lere la yona la kgauta, leo e neng e le tshwere. Esetere a atamela, a ama ntlha ya lere la kgosi.
3Kgosi ya re ho yena: “Oho, mofumahadi Esetere, o batla ho etsetswa eng? O lakatsang? Seo o se lakatsang o tla se newa, leha e ka ba halofo ya mmuso wa ka.”
4Esetere a araba, a re: “Haeba e le ntho e ka kgahlang kgosi, hona kajeno, kgosi le Hamane ba ke ba tle moketeng oo ke o lokiseditseng kgosi.”
5Yaba kgosi e re: “Potlakang le bitse Hamane, re phethe seo Esetere a se boletseng!” Kgosi le Hamane ba ya moketeng oo Esetere a neng a o lokisitse.
6Ha ho ntse ho nowa veine, kgosi ya re ho Esetere: “Thapedi ya hao ke efe? E tla ananelwa. Kopo ya hao ke efe? E tla phethahatswa, leha e ka ba halofo ya mmuso wa ka.”
7Yaba Esetere o a araba, o re: “Thapedi ya ka, le kopo ya ka, ke ena: 8Haeba kgosi e nkgauhetse, mme eba ke ntho e kgahlang kgosi ho phethahatsa thapedi le kopo ya ka, kgosi le Hamane ba ke ba tle moketeng oo ke tla be ke ba lokiseditse wona hosasane, mme teng ke tla araba potso ya kgosi.”
Hamane o rera ho bolaya Moredekai
9Ka tsatsi leo Hamane a tsamaya a thabile, a nyakaletse. Empa eitse ha Hamane a bona Moredekai monyakong wa ntlo ya kgosi, mme a lemoha hore Moredekai ha a eme, ha a mo tshohe, a mo halefela haholo. 10Leha ho le jwalo Hamane a itshwara, a ba a ya fihla ha hae, a bitsa metswalle ya hae, le Sereshe mosadi wa hae. 11Hamane a ba phetela tsa bongata ba maruo a hae, le kamoo bara ba hae ba leng bangata kateng, le mesebetsi yohle eo kgosi e mo phahamiseditseng ho yona, le kamoo e mmeileng ho okamela mahosana le bahlanka ba kgosi kateng. 12Yaba Hamane o re: “Mofumahadi Esetere le yena ha a a ka a dumella motho ho tla le kgosi moketeng oo a neng a o lokisitse, haese nna feela. Le hosasane nna, hammoho le kgosi, ke sa memetswe moketeng wa hae. 13Empa tsena tsohle ha di nthuse ka letho, ha feela ke ntse ke bona Moredekai wa Mojuda a dutse monyakong wa ntlo ya kgosi.”
14Bo-Sereshe, mosadi wa hae, le metswalle yohle ya hae, ba re ho yena: “A re hlomeng sefate seo ho fanyehwang batho ho sona, se bophahamo ba dimethara tse mashome a mabedi a metso e mmedi, mme hosasane o bue le kgosi hore Moredekai a fanyehwe ho sona, ebe jwale o ya moketeng le kgosi, ho ya ithabisa.” Taba ena ya kgahla Hamane, a ba a re ho hlongwe sefate seo ho fanyehwang batho ho sona.
